Sometimes what happens behind the camera, is just as important as what happens in front of it.

In this case..you don’t really get to see what’s in front of it!

Many of my eagle-eyed followers on twitter and not on the blog joined in on the fun of my bake on Saturday. If you were one of them, you know it didn’t go very well.. It was disastrous! Read below the recipe.

Every Saturday I develop a new recipe for the blog, I spend some time trying to come up with a healthier and better alternative to the foods we already eat.

This week I’d had a chat to a blogger on twitter about her wanting a gluten-free pancake that wasn’t just a banana and egg, I offered her my butternut squash pancakes recipe and she loved it! It got me thinking about the basic ‘banana-egg’ pancake and I wanted to do more with it!

I wanted to make them fluffy, thick and most importantly a tasty and healthier alternative to the basic American-style pancake! A new sweet recipe something new for the site. As for the bake, I like to give you several options. So you can choose your preference depending on your diet, there’s gluten-free or gluten & egg free. I’m good like that, very caring.
Here is your ingredient list, and your options of those;

Back to my disaster. If you follow me regularly you’ll know I use different boards for my recipes, from fabric backgrounds to wooden flooring, this week the pancakes needed a nice wooden background…

On to the disaster that happened… the lighting was poor which is why there’s only two pictures of them and look how dark one of them is.. and I really wanted a great picture of these pancakes because they were beautiful. (I’m really getting the hang of this baking-photographing malarky) ..well, I thought I was.

Little did I know that by moving the tiles to somewhere with more natural light, the wooden tiles would pull apart and the beautiful meal would be destroyed..

SPLAT

I felt sick. It took so long to prep the board and the berries for the shoot, even a little cappuccino for the side! Ugh, I had more batter so I made some more for my breakfast but had run out of time, and natural light to re-photograph them.

It is what it is! The pancakes truly are thick and fluffy and healthy! The key to making them fluffy is the flour, I use Doves farm as it’s cheap and easy to get a hold of but you can use any gf flour you have.

I’ve had a tonne of compliments on instagram about them so I’m hoping you’ll love them too. If it was up to me I’d find a way of adding carrots into these for an extra sweet and thick kick but they don’t need it..maybe I’ll save that for another day.

Let me know what you think, what sorts of recipes you’d like me to alter to suit you.
In the meantime, have a great rest of the week!

Well, British are technically French and thus technically ‘crepes’ but I know what you mean, you like them ‘thin’. My partner has them thin too but I just don’t get any sustenance from them, but being gluten free I miss doughy textures, it’s nice to have a recipe to replace that. Thank you anyway. x

I make good old banana and egg pancakes all the time but I have never thought of adding a little bit of GF flour into it, definitely going to give your recipe a try but leave out the coconut milk as I’m allergic! x

Wow, this is something I’m definitely is going to try as I’m trying to be careful with both gluten and sugar to see if it has anything to do with my bloated tummy and pain. So I’ve already bookmarked this post. Great work!! 🙂
